Was there some special selection method?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what magic did Lady Ravenclaw’s ancient book hold? Wizard Sean had clearly seen the words “Book of Ghosts” appear upon its pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t matter. He had plenty of time to explore the mysteries of magic—and better still, he was particularly skilled at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This weekend, Wizard Sean had too much to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his plan map, several items stood out clearly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Practice Legilimency in the Dungeons, Create a Low-Cost \"Telephone\", Reach \"Skilled\" Level with Cat Leopard Cookies…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of these were as important as what he was about to do now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped onto the corridor, where a thin layer of frost coated the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On either side, suits of armor were adorned with vibrant flowers left over from Valentine’s Day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too early—neither the young wizards nor the ghosts seemed to be active yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean Green conjured a soft cushion at the corner where Lady Grey often appeared and sat there reading for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long passed, but Lady Grey never drifted by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a large red exclamation mark appeared on his plan map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wizard Sean gathered his books and prepared to head to the Forbidden Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather was cold, and young wizards all wore gloves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wizard Sean passed the fourth-floor corridor, he noticed with mild surprise that the black cat statue had been wrapped in a scarf, surrounded by young wizards praying with happy expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had intended to hurry past, but now he stopped abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched the young wizards sharing sweets, exchanging stories, and huddling together over steaming grapefruit juice to ward off the chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Castle Cat Club no longer seemed like just a simple club—it had woven itself into the lives of the young wizards, like those tangled balls of yarn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean suddenly understood something, and a change stirred within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided that next time, he might look into the dreams of the club members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, how had Minister Hannah conceived of this club?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the castle, the snow was soft, the trees a blanket of white, as if dusted with cotton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snowflakes spun slowly in the air before melting on Wizard Sean’s slightly reddened face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid called out from afar, smoke curling from the chimney of his hut behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good morning, Hagrid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean raised his hand in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh—I’ve got good news to tell you! Come in—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid swept his arm inward, and Wizard Sean was pulled inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dumbledore agreed—have some pear-stewed dragon’s milk, taught to me by Hufflepuff’s Finley—he agreed! I knew he would! Next term, you’ll be my assistant in Care of Magical Creatures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Hagrid handed Wizard Sean a steaming drink that looked unmistakably sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming an assistant was a new experience for Wizard Sean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded, his cheeks slightly flushed from the warmth of the hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, I heard—yes, Mr. Scamander said… I’m in contact with him… you have a special magical creature…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid seemed embarrassed, fidgeting awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cat Leopard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean asked as if uncertain, though he already knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Merlin’s beard! It really is a Cat Leopard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, Hagrid, I need to ask Yi Fa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean paused for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can communicate with it?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid suddenly slammed the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, sorry…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid retracted his hand, crestfallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m leaving Hogwarts for the Ministry soon—they’re considering dropping the charges. Oh, this is all your doing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A genuine smile spread across Wizard Sean’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew about it—Rita had said the Hogwarts professors had all lent their support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Headmaster Dumbledore was likely the most crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you might help me manage the Forbidden Forest. But be careful. Norbert might have returned—I saw many… spider corpses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid stammered, then realized how dangerous this sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a young wizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll help. Uh… can I get someone else to help?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect—Yi Fa hadn’t been out in a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for managing the Forbidden Forest, Wizard Sean had an excellent choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Puckidge the butler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Wizard Sean! Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid’s eyes instantly welled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly felt guilty—he’d left such a dangerous place to a young wizard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until he saw Bai Yi transform into a dragon and frolic through the Forbidden Forest that he remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the forest, Thestrals took flight in terror; Bowtruckles clung tightly to trees, trying to turn invisible; a group of centaurs came running at the noise, saw the familiar dragon, gave Wizard Sean a strange look from the hut, then vanished into the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai Yi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean called out, and Bai Yi, having melted a patch of snow, reluctantly returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think… there’s nothing more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid muttered gloomily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to have found the killer of the eight-legged spiders; after a brief moment of disappointment, he grew excited again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here’s the hut key. Goodbye, Wizard Sean.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid handed the key to Wizard Sean with relief and stepped out of the hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean watched a motorcycle spew black smoke before vanishing into the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid was finally clearing his name—not just at Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this amusing turn of events, Wizard Sean opened the Wizard’s Book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puckidge the butler loved the vast forest; Wizard Sean left Bai Yi with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking through the snow, Wizard Sean looked up—the windows of Hogwarts Castle glowed warmly one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, he spotted a familiar figure, raised his hand, and his broom shot forward like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds later, Wizard Sean appeared near Ravenclaw Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite him stood a corridor door; Lady Grey drifted slowly farther down the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Ravenclaw.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Green…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Grey murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you to the Silver Alliance for the rainy winter nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you for your support!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no backup chapters, Lu will add five more tomorrow and the day after.\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b72533c2562f329581db0f63fbaf18c4f11bc186fceebcdabf00997055826097","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-401","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-399",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
